This winds me up particularly as I am a student nurse...

Yes MRSA is a threat, but it responds well to antibiotics that the MRSA isn't resistant to, Vancomycin being the main one used.

Most healthy people are not at risk of getting the infection if precautions are taken i.e. hand washing/hand gels.

The reason that it is contracted mainly in hospitals is because people here already have a weakened immune system, open wounds (including catheters/venflons etc.)

People on large, frequent courses of antibiotics are at risk too. (this is how the infection exists in the first place, research MRSA...)

Anyways, lecture over. :thumbsup:
Thanks for the info, ill keep washin my hands.
Metaphor Reviewed by Metaphor on . What happened to Bird Flu!? Hahaha I just remembered that shit.. Everyone thought the world was gonna die.. I wasnt on these forums back when it was a big world scare, so I dunno what your views on it were.. But man, talk about paranoid mofos.. Its funny how everyone in the drug war talks about how weed makes everyone paranoid, then they go get fucking scared shitless about some bullshit that didn't come to anything much... It kinda makes you lose faith in other world issues like global warming and everything. I mean, Rating: 5
